Liz Cheney drops bombshell during hearing -- and suggests Trump 'was personally involved in the planning of January 6th'

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Tuesday issued a scathing assessment of former President Donald Trump and ally Steve Bannon's decision to stonewall the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attacks on the United States Capitol.

After dismantling Bannon's claims that he is protected by executive privilege from testifying before the committee, Cheney speculated that Trump and Bannon have very personal reasons for not wanting any testimony to go forward.

"Mr. Bannon's and Mr. Trump's privilege arguments do appear to reveal one thing, however: they suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th," she said. "And we will get to the bottom of that."

Raw Story.

11. She is positioning herself for a run in '24? With this kind of talk, she will get wide support?

From Dems too?

20. It has to be put in perspective....

...at this critical time in our history. We should not look at any of the Committee members, in my opinion, from a political viewpoint. They are there to try and save our democracy and to try and find out what happened on January 6th. We saw what we saw with our own eyes, but there are deeper parts of the story that must be understood, so that it never happens again. We should all want to protect our Constitution.

 :whatever:

8. CLICKBAIT "bombshell" is not a bombshell. It's only her opinion & she is only expressing it


No, I did not click the aggregator clickbait link. rawstory is not a news source. It is an aggregator. Click through on to the real source and link that. It would almost always be more respectable than rawstory.
By the way, use the excerpt button when copy-pasting excerpts. You know about it because you clicked the bolding button near it.

But in any case, this item is not a bombshell.

A true bombshell would have pertinent FACTS. Liz Cheney stated her own opinion; her opinion has some but little pertinence.

"Feds Raid Deripaska Mansion", now that's a bombshell.

I'm not a lawyer but I don't think you can get a conviction by saying that something "suggests" the accused has done something.

The military-industrial complex is alive and well and Liz Cheney is their whore.  She never met a war she didn't like.  Donald Trump said "Peace through strength." the difference is he meant it.  That's why she hates him.

Biden's FBI contradicted her, weeks before her spewing. Trump's own words, on 1/6, disprove her claim. But her pathetic TRUMP Hatred blinds her to facts she doesn't like ... kinda like DUpipo ...

Imputing guilt based on someone not providing a statement is called a "negative inference" and it violates every tenet of due process and the burden of proof.
